‘21 And Over’ Trailer: ‘The Hangover’ Goes To College By Angie Han/Nov. 12, 2012 11:00 am EST We’ve witnessed frat boy shenanigans from both grown-ass men (Old School, the Hangover films) and underage teens (Project X), and we’ll be seeing them from the senior citizen set when Last Vegas opens next year. But such antics never seem more appropriate than when they’re being perpetrated by actual college-aged kids. 21 and Over is exactly what the title suggests — a comedy from the “one crazy night” subgenre about a boozy 21st birthday celebration gone horribly, hilariously wrong....

‘Epic’ Trailer #2: A Star-Studded Voice Cast Tries To Save The Forest By Angie Han/March 6, 2013 3:00 pm EST A star-studded cast works wonderfully as a marketing gimmick, but as films like New Year’s Eve and Movie 43 have proven, it’s no guarantee of quality. Fortunately, Blue Sky Studios’ animated adventure Epic seems to have a little more going for it.
